Busy doesn’t mean productive. And exhausted doesn’t mean successful.

In this episode, Peggy Sullivan — former corporate executive turned researcher and speaker — shares what 12 years of data revealed about time poverty, burnout, and the hidden damage of hustle culture.

If you’ve ever felt like there’s never enough time, like your calendar is packed but your goals aren’t moving, this conversation will feel both validating and empowering.

Peggy breaks down:

• What “time poverty” really is
• How chronic busyness damages health and relationships
• The productivity myth that keeps high-achieving women stuck
• Why multitasking actually lowers performance
• How to subtract low-value commitments
• Small micro-steps that rebuild clarity and confidence

We also explore how busyness can become a habit — even an addiction — and how to retrain your brain to choose meaning over mayhem.

This episode is for female entrepreneurs, leaders, and women in midlife reinvention who are ready to stop hiding in busy and start leading with intention.

Because you don’t need a crisis to change. You need clarity.

You can be busy, capable, and doing all the “right” things—and still feel stuck.

If you’ve ever wondered why your results don’t match your potential, this episode is for you.

In this conversation, Penny sits down with Nada Lena Nasserdeen, founder of Rise Up For You, international speaker, and author. Nada has worked with Fortune 500 companies and entrepreneurs around the world, helping people build confidence, communicate more effectively, and step into leadership. But what makes her work so powerful is that she’s lived the confidence gaps she now teaches others how to close.

This episode isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about understanding how confidence actually works, why it doesn’t grow by accident, and how busyness can quietly keep you playing small.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why self-confidence isn’t a personality trait—it’s a skill
• How capable women get in their own way without realizing it
• The sneaky role busyness plays in avoiding growth
• Why boundaries are essential to confidence (not selfish)
• How beliefs quietly shape behaviors and results
• The importance of surrounding yourself with the right people
• Why personal growth requires intention, not motivation

If you’re craving clarity, momentum, and a little permission to stop carrying everything alone, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.

If you’re in a season of transition and quietly wondering, “Did I miss my window?”—this episode is for you.

Penny is joined by Julie DeLucca-Collins, confidence coach, author, and fellow podcaster, for an honest conversation about career pivots, self-trust, and why you’re never truly starting over. Julie shares how being laid off during the pandemic became the catalyst for building a purpose-driven business—and how confidence is less about being fearless and more about trusting yourself enough to take the next step.

Together, Penny and Julie explore the quiet strength women often overlook, the transferable skills we carry through every chapter of life, and the power of community, sisterhood, and “believing mirrors” to help us see what we can’t always see in ourselves.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why so many capable women underestimate their experience
• The myth of “starting over” in midlife
• How confidence is built through small, brave moves
• Letting go of hustle culture and redefining success
• The role of community and sisterhood in personal growth
• Trusting yourself—even when you feel unsure or afraid

This conversation is honest, encouraging, and grounding—one that reminds you nothing you’ve lived, learned, or survived has been wasted.

Pour a drink, settle in, and let this episode meet you exactly where you are.

There’s a moment many women reach—usually after a few decades of living—when things get clearer. The stories don’t quite add up anymore. The excuses land flat. And that inner voice gets a whole lot louder.

In this episode of Penny for Your Shots, I sit down with therapist Gina Haras for a thoughtful conversation about wisdom, discernment, and why our “BS meter” tends to get sharper with age. We explore how experience shapes clarity, why empathetic women often question themselves early on, and how growth allows us to trust what we feel instead of explaining it away.

This isn’t about labeling people or revisiting old drama. It’s about recognizing patterns, honoring intuition, and leaning into the wisdom you’ve earned.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• Why midlife brings clearer boundaries and stronger discernment
• The difference between love, attachment, and emotional confusion
• How self-trust develops through lived experience
• Why healing leads to better choices—not bitterness
• Learning to listen to your body and intuition without second-guessing

About Gina:
Gina Haras is a licensed therapist and founder of Luna Clinic. She works with women around the world through online sessions, helping them gain clarity, confidence, and healthier relationship patterns.

If you’ve ever thought, “I see things so differently now,” this episode will feel like a knowing nod—and a reminder that your clarity didn’t happen by accident.

If you’ve ever questioned your value, your voice, or whether you’re really using your seat at the table the way you’re meant to—this episode is for you.

I’m joined by Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, a longtime logistics leader, podcast host, nonprofit founder, and author whose work centers on self-worth, inclusion, and creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and heard.

Sarah shares her journey through male-dominated industries, unexpected career pivots, and the quiet inner work of protecting self-worth when titles change, doors close, or life doesn’t go according to plan. Together, we talk about privilege, responsibility, and the power we often give away—without even realizing it.

This is an honest, thoughtful conversation about leadership, presence, and choosing to show up with intention.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why self-worth isn’t something you “figure out” once and for all
• How titles, labels, and external validation can distort confidence
• Recognizing your power in the rooms you’re already in
• The responsibility that comes with privilege and visibility
• Creating safe spaces where real conversations can happen
• Letting go of shame and giving yourself more grace

If you’re navigating a pivot, stepping into leadership, or feeling the nudge to stop playing small, this conversation will remind you that your voice matters—and how you use it matters, too.

If you’ve ever felt like you know what good leadership looks like—but still catch yourself waiting for agreement, approval, or buy-in—this episode will feel like permission you didn’t know you needed.

I’m joined by Tami Reiss (aka Tami from Miami), and this conversation beautifully reinforces what I teach again and again: you don’t need consensus to lead—you need clarity.

This isn’t about becoming more forceful, louder, or more “corporate.” It’s about trusting your instincts, making clean decisions, and leading in a way that feels aligned instead of exhausting. Tami brings powerful frameworks and real-world examples that put structure around what so many women already feel but haven’t been taught how to articulate.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why waiting for consensus slows momentum and drains confidence
• How clarity is actually an act of kindness in leadership
• The difference between delegating tasks and truly deputizing people
• Why influence has nothing to do with convincing—and everything to do with empathy
• How to lead without people-pleasing, over-explaining, or burning out

Key Topics:

• Authentic leadership
• Influence-driven leadership
• Decision-making with confidence
• Service over sales
• Women in leadership and entrepreneurship
• Clarity, boundaries, and trust

If you’re a woman who’s tired of over-collaborating, second-guessing, or carrying the emotional weight of everyone else’s comfort—this episode is a deep exhale and a reminder: you already know how to lead.

Have you ever hired help—only to feel more overwhelmed than before? More questions. More messages. More mental clutter than ever?

In this episode of Penny for Your Shots, I’m joined by Melissa Morris, founder of Agency Authority, for a grounding, practical conversation about why burnout doesn’t magically disappear when you build a team—and how the right systems can truly give you your life back.

This isn’t about rigid processes or complicated tech. It’s about clarity, intention, and creating simple structures that support you—so your business stops living in your head and starts working for you.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why adding team members can increase overwhelm without systems
• The hidden cost of being reactive all day (and how to change it)
• Brain dumps as a powerful first step toward clarity
• How perfectionism quietly fuels burnout
• Building systems as you go—without overcomplicating things
• Using AI as a support tool, not a replacement for thinking
• The mindset shifts that help you reclaim time and energy

Topics we cover:

• Business systems for small teams
• Burnout and work-life balance for women
• Organization without hustle culture
• Delegation, SOPs, and mental load
• Time tracking and focus
• Creating white space and sustainable rhythms

If you love your business but feel stretched thin, this episode will feel like permission to slow down, simplify, and build something that actually supports your life.

Pour yourself something good—and let’s talk systems, sanity, and freedom.

What if the most powerful New Year reset isn’t about doing more—but about finally letting yourself matter again?

In this short solo episode, Penny shares a surprising insight from a recent workshop that revealed just how many women are quietly carrying too much—while putting their own joy on hold.

If you’re the strong one, the caregiver, the helper, or the woman everyone depends on, this conversation is a gentle reminder that service doesn’t require self-sacrifice—and that joy isn’t a luxury.

This episode explores:

• Why so many women slip into survival mode without realizing it
• The difference between being selfless and being depleted
• How joy actually expands your capacity to serve
• Why support doesn’t have to feel heavy or serious

Journal Prompts Mentioned in the Episode

Take a few quiet moments with these questions:

• On a scale of 1–10, how important would it be for you to feel joy again?
• What would feeling more joy change for you right now?
• When was the last time you felt truly lit up—not productive or needed, just joyful?
• What were you doing, who were you with, and how did your body feel?
• What’s one small way you could invite a spark of that feeling back into your life this month?

As we step into a new year, this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting, stop carrying it all alone, and remember—gently—that you matter too.
